Quote from: "pinkocommie"No, I'm sorry for making such a big deal about it.  It doesn't even really matter.  I think I'm just in a scrappy mood today, so I'm arguing wherever there is an argument to be had.  I didn't mean to go after you specifically, I'm sorry.
No worries  :D  But you do raise a fair point in the way we sometimes treat the first posts of new members sometime with a distinct lack of fair mindedness.
If religions were TV channels atheism is turning the TV off.

Remember, your inability to grasp science is not a valid argument against it.

Quote from: "pinkocommie"Can I just point out that if this were the only post of a religious poster, people would be angrily pointing out the fact that posting a vid as the first and only post is spam and tisk tisking about it, but it seems when it's an atheist spamming as a first post, people seem pretty OK with it?  This double standard seems entirely unfair to me, and helps to illustrate how some people here receive religious vs. non religious noobs in an entirely different way.

That was my first belief and while from time to time I'll call it spam on the first post I usually try to wait for a second post before judgeing regardless of belief. Oh and I'm an equal opertunity spam hatter I call Atheists on it to. Bad form to make your first post a link to something you yourself have produced before even introducing yourselves. It annoys me regardless of the source.

God is a cake, and we all know what the cake is.

(my spelling, grammer, and punctuation suck, I know, but regardless of how much I read they haven't improved much since grade school. It's actually a bit of a family joke.

NathanielZhu, as some members have already pointed out...a first time post of practically only a video is spamish.  I hope you decide to come back and participate but please make sure you are aware of our forum rules and basic netiquette.  If it had been a link rather than an embed I would have removed it since a lot of people dump links here just to boost their google rank scores.
